great demo! wonderfully musical applications! I’ve been using two Doepfer FFBs on my modular for years. They live on the output, giving everything I do some extra colour. It’s incredible how much space one could achieve in a dense mix by using FFBs. Right now I’m reviewing the wonderful Serge Resonant EQ by Random Source, which is gorgeous! But my GAS really calls out loud for the AJH 914!
I have a mix of 1/4" MOTM and 1/8" Euro-Rack Synth modules and I often patch with RCA cables + adapters: - RCA to 1/4" and RCA to 1/8" adapters. The adapters are reasonable outlay and their bullet proof. New RCA patch cables are super inexpensive and just as shielded as the more expensive patch cables.
Very cool! You can achieve something similar using two white noise sources, VCAs or attenuators, and the WORNG Sound Stage. Not quite as frequency-specific, but close enough!
Hi Daniel. That's actually the reason I purchased the 995 Attenuator module, but it didn't do the feedback trick. Behringer suggests that I use the CP3A-M Mixer or other non-passive attenuators. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
Can't wait to model that in the Montage as a Fixed Filter Performance. Have several 44.1Khz whitenoise/pinknoise samples to work with as AWM elements. Will pan them Left / Right, set some knob assignments to adjust the 5 band EQ on each channel, monkey with the with Reverb and delay types and sends, add some crazy insertion effects and macro it all into the super knob to see what develops. Thanks for the inspiration.
I never knew about this type of filter or what it did.. thank you for sharing. On the back of this video alone, I ordered *2 at £45 each, from Amazon UK. Cant wait to play around with this :-)
How great would it be to take the output of a vintage synth like the Polysix, split the signal into a pair, and run each pair into one of these, followed by some delay?? I guess all I'd need to add is a Mult to create a copy of the input signal, right?
OK this messed me up real bad. Now I wanna build a stereo in/out filtering device for Eurorack. I'll definitely want a pair of Fixed Filter Banks. I wonder if they make any where the bands have CV control? It would be cool to be able to sequence the various bands.
Look at the Moog Mf-105 or MF-105m Murf. It’s like a fixed filter bank pedal, where the bands can animate and be sequenced. They are pretty expensive though.
@@BullyMaguire4ever I have a Murf and they’re great but not stereo. It would be quite pricey to add a 2nd one but something like this could be a killer cost effective solution. Or even a pair of the new Moog Soectravox units??
Hey Daniel! I was wondering how did you trigger the chord at 12:03. Is it an arpeggio? Do you mind sharing the notes in the chord? I really really like how that sounds!
I will certainly pass this request along. It would probably be created by one of our other video presenters who create a lot of drums via synthesis. Thanks for the suggestion! -_Daniel_
thx. now i know what a FFB is, and ways to use it. So, maybe this would be a nice companion to the behr 2600 noise generator. [lol, ok that was a little below the belt] So, if you are running really short on synth clip ideas, what about a lesson on layers and keyboard ranges, velocity gate or transposing, etc? it seems like the workstation stuff is creeping into the synths like wavestate and JD-xm. you could show people the magic of using velocity as a gate and setting up layers for performances. ez but cool stuff like using the highest note to start the drumbeat or setting up a layer below the keyboard range and play it with a MIDI footboard (like those studiologic 13 and 17 note boards you sell) or second keyboard as controller and play the main keyboard like normal on the other layers. layers = separate little synths..
Hi jj rusy. A stellar idea! I am definitely going to make one or more "Layers for Synths and ROMplers" videos. And you're right, it would benefit multiple types of keyboardists. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
Hi Stellaterra. The 914 Fixed Filter Bank is an active Eurorack module, so it requires the power supplied by the ribbon cable in a powered Eurorack case. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

Watching these Synth Clips is like getting a MasterClass in synthesis.
Hardly, all basic stuff. well executed though
Holy crap the end sold me on it. Thanks again Dan!
Great instructional video. Love the way you present, like you are just talking to us in the room. Can't wait to try this out!
This is a fantastic demo. I never understood the point of the fixed filter bank until I got my hands on one.

Amazing! Thank you so much for the demo! Really love that chilling sound fx coming thru different frequency bands in stereo!
Definitely will be picking up a filter bank now. Thanks!
Wonderful demonstration.
Thanks that's very helpful and gives me new idea's

Knew nothing about this and now I do - thank you.
ok, never really thought about using FFBs like this. Might have to pick one of these up. Thanks for this.
Yeah. I never understood the hype and now I want two lol
Man this is so freaking great! Thanks so much! Is it possible to CV modulate the fixed filter bank!
That is so cool! I totally got lost there for a minute
That's my man, Daniel Fisher!
I just went to the most frightening spot in my mind just with that last soundscape
These Clips are excellent. That last patch could have been in some 80s horror movie!
Very cool! You can achieve something similar using two white noise sources, VCAs or attenuators, and the WORNG Sound Stage. Not quite as frequency-specific, but close enough!
Great video, I'd add a mixer to that little soundscape rig to allow FFB feedback loops.

Please do a demo of the Moog Spectravox.
It go WOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

5:40 you're inside of a plane
Totally! -_Daniel_
If only you could independently CV-modulate all those different frequencies....
Verbos Bark.
Hey Daniel! I was wondering how did you trigger the chord at 12:03. Is it an arpeggio? Do you mind sharing the notes in the chord? I really really like how that sounds!
Hi extra_mnpltr. It's based on the F Lydian scale:
F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F
or
1, 2, 3, #4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

@@sweetwater Thank you so much my man! 👍🏼
Hey, my Mom went to Northern.
Hi Peter. Uhh... where are you going with this?
-_Daniel_
you guys should meet up on Cloud City!
Could u make videos on drum synthesis like using something like the DSI Tempest?
I will certainly pass this request along. It would probably be created by one of our other video presenters who create a lot of drums via synthesis. Thanks for the suggestion! -_Daniel_
Is there any plugins that do a fixed filter like this? i supposed like PRO Q could do this
cherry audio voltage modular vm900 software modular synth includes ffb, which can be used as audio fx
The Audio Damage 914 has been out for a very long time
now do separate outputs for each filter band
The EMW brand makes one with CV control, it's about $40 more then the Behringer one.

Does it need to be powered or can it run just from input jack?
Hi Stellaterra. The 914 Fixed Filter Bank is an active Eurorack module,
so it requires the power supplied by the ribbon cable in a powered Eurorack case.
Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
